03 July 1676 @ Dorset Garden Theatre

Event Comment: The Duke's Company. Nell Gwyn attended this performance. See VanLennep, Nell Gwyn's Playgoing, p. 408. It is not known when the premiere occurred, but this is the earliest known performance. The Prologue, missing in the 1677 edition, is in the 1693 edition. A song, Make haste, my shepherd, come away, with music by Francis Forcer, is in Choice Ayres and Songs, Second Book, 1679

Performances

Mainpiece Title: Abdelazer; Or, The Moor's Revenge

4813
March 1682 @ Dorset Garden Theatre

Event Comment: The Duke's Company. The date of the first performance is uncertain, but the fact that Luttrell dated his separately printed copies of the Prologue and Epilogue 5 April 1682 (Huntington Library) sets a probability that the play first appeared within a week to ten days preceding that date. The Prologue and Epilogue, separately printed, have been reprinted in Wiley, Rare Prologues and Epilogues, pp. 89-91. A Prologue Intended for Vertue Bertray'd, by Thomas Shadwell, is reprinted in Welbeck Niscellany 3, A Collection of Poems by Several Hands, ed. Francis Needham, 1934. Some details in it suggest the "Dead Time" preceding Easter, when the Court was gone, the Russian ambassador departed, the Moroccan Ambassador shortly to go. The Russian ambassador left on 15 Feb. 1681@2 OS (see Evelyn, Diary), and the Prologue refers to the execution of Colonel Vratz and his accomplices on 10 March 1681@2 (Evelyn, Diary)

10 June 1684 @ Whitehall or St. James's

Event Comment: The Prince of Orange's company of foreign comedians was apparently expected in England on this evening (HMC, 5th Report, Part I, 1876, p. 186). They were under the management of Francis Duperier and apparently remained in England for some four months. See Lawrence, Early French Players in England, p. 150. See also an order, L. C. 5@145, p. 90 (Nicoll, Restoration Drama, p. 253n), to prepare the Cockpit for the Prince of Orange's players

29 October 1684 @ Whitehall or St. James's

Event Comment: On this date a payment was made to the foreign performers who had come in the spring: To Francis Duperier, for the charge and expences of ye French players attending his Majestie at Windsor and Winchester, and returning to London (Moneys Received and Paid for Secret Services, ed. J. Y. Akerman, Camden Society, LII [1851], 93)

Performances

July 1696 @ Lincoln's Inn Fields

Event Comment: Betterton's Company. There may have been a revival of Oedipus in the summer of 1696. In Francis Manning's Poems upon Several Occasions and to Several Persons (1701) there is a poem To Mr Betterton, Acting Oedipus King of Thebes. The first stanza describes the splendor of the installation of the Duke of Gloucester as a Knight of the Garter, an event which occurred at Windsor Castle in July 1696; but there is no certainty that Betterton's performance occurred before that date. It should be noted also that the play was reprinted in 1696
